Look around the blog -- I hope you'll find something that will be useful to you. You can also find information on the Vintage Holiday QAL, which we started at the beginning of this month. Feel free to join us!

For the giveaway, I have a small stack from two of my favorite designers: Melody Miller and Heather Ross. These are all cotton/linen blend fabrics in a mix of different sizes, from a sixteenth of a yard to more than a fat quarter.

To enter the giveaway, just leave me a comment on this post. Any comment is fine, but if you like you can answer this question: what kind of projects or tutorials would you like to see on Fabric Mutt in the next year? The giveaway is open internationally and will last until Monday, September 3rd, when I'll pick a random winner. Please, please make sure that you're not a no-reply blogger; I don't want to have to disqualify anyone because I can't get in touch with them. There are going to be a whole lot of bloggers participating in this hop, so be sure to check out the link at the top of the page. I plan to spend an hour or two visiting them all myself this week...

HI Heidi, I'm relatively new to your blog. It's wonderful! Thanks for sharing all your wonderful work! I was particularly interested in two of the quilts in the top photo and was wondering if you could point me to the blog post or flickr page where I could see them more up close as it were! It the one that looks like polaroids Top row third from left and also the 3rd row down 1st picture from the left. Thanks so much and keep up the good work! jowestfoot (at) hotmail.com

Thank you for the giveaway! I love tutorials for everything, but I'm certainly always on the lookout for neat paper piecing designs like that phone you have there! That and QALs with tutorials along the way (although I'm too overwhelmed with other projects to do the Vintage Holiday QAL at the moment!)

Ohh I can't say what kinds of tutorials I would like to see - I usually google for tutorials when I need them or call home. And all those thousands of tutorials really get confusing. Maybe tutorial reviews, compare all those "how to insert a zipperones" and rate them ... no idea... Thanks for the chance though!

I do love your blog. I have been thinking lately, when I, like others want a quick project- it would be great to have have an approximation of how long the project takes. I almost always make any gift I might need but at times find I need one on the fly. So quick tutorials with an approximation of time is what I would like to see.

If I were able to find a blog with tutorials showing patterns ideas for English Paper Piecing, that would be quite thrilling. I think there are good tutorials for how to DO EPP, but not many showing ways to put the different shaped pieces together to make wonderful blocks and quilts. Also quilt as you go seems to be something that has become a foreign concept to me (especially if it is by hand).

Thanks for the fabulous giveaway. I'm loving the vintage holiday QAL. I'd enjoy seeing more projects like that in the future along with the occasional tutorial and inspiring projects. Keep the great posts coming my way.

Shhhh, don't mention the "s" word, I'm enjoying the holidays too much! Thanks for the giveaway :) I agree with Haley, maybe a tutorial on machine quilting would be good? I've done a few quilts but I love hearing about other peoples' methods

I am following you to see all the cool tutes you will be doing! Always looking for inspiration :o) Lovely fabric you are giving away - thank you for joining this blog hop and being willing to part with the lovelies!

Your giveaway items are great! So different from what I would choose, but so pleasing! I like all kinds of tutorials: simple wearables, functional things (but cute), and quilts--large and small. I guess I like it all!

I like tutorials/info on projects that can be done fairly quickly...I love quilts, but get bogged down and frustrated because I don't have a big enough machine to quilt anything bigger than a baby quilt, lol

I love the projects you've done! My great interest right now is learning how to make bags... library bags, lunch bags, simple reversible totes with pockets, messenger bags, a small over-the-shoulder purse, etc. Thanks for the beautiful fabric giveaway! winterwrens at gmail dot com

I love that fact the you use vintage style fabrics in all that you make. I would love to see tut's on vintage kitchen items that would be good for a beginning for myself and as to give as holiday hostess gifts or for my 2 daughters for their own kitchens. Thank You for the chance to win such uniquely pretty fabrics.

I have been spending time on your blog. I am a new followers of yours. I would like to see projects using jelly rolls or scrappy quilts. There are always so many great ideas and I am sure you would come up with another tutorial for us. Thank you for joining in the Blog Hop and your generous giveway.

I love the feel of your very mod projects...I need to try to figure that style out...I am such a traditionalist, but I like the contemporary clean uncluttered look :P I would like to make an art quilt..something small and modern....maybe a quilt along? Let me know so I can follow!

Thanks for participating in the blog hop giveaway. I'm new to your blog and fairly new to quilting so I would be interested in looking at almost anything you post. I'm most interested in quilts and less interested in smaller projects. Thanks!

nice to meet you
